Description

The Health Resources and Services Administration is offering the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program, which provides support to nursing students in exchange for a minimum two-year, full-time service commitment (or part-time equivalent) at an eligible health care facility with a critical shortage of nurses. Students must be accepted or enrolled at an accredited school of nursing located in the United States or territory, and be pursuing a nursing degree or certificate program. Types of eligible nursing programs include: Diploma in Nursing; Associate degree in Nursing; Bachelor of Science in Nursing; Graduate-level nurse practitioners; Graduate-level registered nurse and advanced practice registered nurse; and Bridge Nursing Graduate-level. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen (either U.S. born or naturalized), U.S. National, or Lawful Permanent Resident. They must provide acceptable documentation of their status. Funding preference is given to applicants with the greatest financial need. Applicants are required to submit two letters of recommendation, one academic and one non-academic. If the applicant is currently enrolled in the nursing program, the academic recommendation letter should be from the department chair, faculty advisor, or a faculty member of that academic program who can attest to the applicant's qualifications. If the applicant has not begun the training associated with the scholarship, the signed letter should be from the department chair, faculty advisor, or a faculty member of the applicant's most recent academic program. The non-academic recommendation letter should be from an individual who is familiar with the applicant's professional, community, and/or civic activities, especially those related to underserved communities and, if applicable, federal pipeline program experience. The recommender can be an employer or previous employer, community leader, colleague, or anyone who has knowledge of the applicant's interest and motivation to provide care to underserved communities.
